Move:
Movement is something crucial in human life. Without movement, we wouldn't be able to apply any other characteristics. Any thing that's a living thing can move, even germs or tiny little bacteria that can only live for an hour or less. For example, In the 1600's, Marc Antoni researched about living things and he found tiny little bacterias moving and he declared that it's a living thing and by seeing if it can move or not, you can determine if it's a living thing.
Examples of Movement:
Human Movement: walking, jumping, running, moving etc.
Animal Movement: " "
Plant Movement: moving.
Explanations of "Examples of Movement":
Human movement is basically any action you do in everyday life. You never notice that every movement you do shows that you're a living thing. Animal movements are basically the same but the follow their instincts, they do the same actions we do but in a different way. What about plant movements? Well the truth is they do move but their movements are so gentle and little that we don't even notice it. Plants usually make about 1 - 100 movements per year. An example for plant movements is the sunflower. Sunflowers always face the sun. So when the sun moves, it slowly turns with the sun's direction.
